MusicCube communicates wirelessly with the host computer and controls music reproduction software. Playlists are recognized by the colors of the MusicCube, and a different color can be assigned to each side of the player.
The voice from the player serves as an assistance to inform the user about which music or playlist they are listening to, it also provides feedback on actions carried out.
